If the user pressed return on the end result status line it gave a blank message. Modify the function notmuch-pick-get-message-id to return nil rather than an empty message-id in this case to fix this. This also fixes a bug in the (lack of) quoting of the id string. --- Version 1 is at id:1351797983-19707-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com This version changes the `when' to and `if' and adds the fix for the quoting.
